This month, throngs of fresh-eyed students are filing back onto campus (or logging in online), attempting to become journalists at a time when the very definition of a journalist is in constant flux.

Laura Păuleţ's insight:

"Those who teach tomorrow’s journalists have a monumental task ahead of them: Not only do they have to instruct and mentor these students, they have to do so as the media landscape heaves and buckles beneath all of them. This can make for a wild ride for students, teachers and schools alike. But with the challenges comes great opportunity — for innovation, for creativity and for experimentation."
